goodbye love,
goodbye midnights and jars of sweet tea,
fairy lights, "overcoming" anything,
crooked fountains and oaks;
goodbye love,
goodbye to your mother and your sister,
to the mary in the rocks,
the knots in your forehead when you were at a loss.

I hold my own hand and I snuggle myself to sleep,
there is a hole in my heart if you get close enough to look,
goodbye love,
goodbye to these words you'll never notice,
to the moment I knew this was the autumn I wrote about before.

happy one year, love
patti
